Santa Ian, I've Been Very Good!

Hello! I just couldn't resist turning My Guy Ian into a "hot" Santa with Anya sitting in his chair waiting for him! I had intended to use the "naughty" and the "nice" sentiment from Xmas Sweeties but somewhere along the way I have lost my "nice" sentiment! Then I decided, that's okay, who needs "nice" anyway!? Ooops, I just realized I forgot to color in his belt buckle, so pretend it is gold because I am going to go color it that as soon as I finish posting!

There's Something "Familiar" About This Witch!

Hi! How are you today?I had a weird-weather-at-work day yesterday. I watch the kids at recess at my daughter's school, so I am outside for 2 hours a day (yes, even in the winter, in Alaska!) Yesterday, in that 2 hour time frame we had a light, very cold drizzle that turned into freezing rain and hail. After hurrying to get the kids inside, everything stopped and the sun came out. So we were back outside for the next recess, only to have it all start over again 30 minutes later!!

On to my card! I loved turning one of the Dressy Miss Anya'a into a witch a while back, so I decided to do it again and give her a Familiar this time! This is also for the color challenge over at SCS - Crushed Black Razzelberries (I love how that sounds!) and I used Mercy's Sketch #40. I masked the flower in her hair so it wouldn't stamp and drew her witches hat separately, cut it out and glued it on. I also drew her little broom, cut it out and glued it behind her back.

Stamps: Miss Anya Dressy, Ginger Bell (cat) - The Greeting Farm, Sentiment - Taylored Expressions

This card is for week 4 of the Viva la Verve challenges at SCS. This week's has a sketch and the added challenge of "black and white". I am not sure how much I love this - I may try it again if I have the time. My brain has a harder time thinking of cards without coloring, but I am trying to get better at it! The stamp is from Verve, the paper is K&Co, and I used a CB embossing folder for the black background piece.

I hope your Wednesday is wonderful!

Witchy Woman!

Hello! Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a good weekend! Mine was nice and relaxing. I am a home-body, so I love a weekend where I don't HAVE to do anything and can just hang out at home crafting and watching tv or movies!

My card today uses my favorite new Dressy Miss Anya, and I have turned her into a witch! To keep the flower in her hair from being there I covered it with a little piece of post-it-note before inking her up, then pulled it off before stamping. I just had to go back and fill in the missing spaces with my Copic multi-liner. I also cut her out and traced her legs separately so I could draw stripey tights on. (Once the new legs were ready, I cut off the original legs and glued the new ones in their place.) I think stripey tights are a witch must-have! Oh, and I drew a tiny witch hat for her, cut it out and glued it on.

Another 2 Challenges in 1...Sort of!

Happy Friday! I decided to do 2 challenges in one card again today, and I will show you the finished card first. It combines Rosette's Club Anya challenge for yesterday (use Bling!) with the Christmas Stamping All Year Long challenge for this week which was to make a spotlight card. I've never made a spotlight card before and I don't think I quite had the hang of it. The longer I looked at it the less I liked it and I finally pulled the colored part off (2nd picture). I definitely like it better that way. I think the next time I make a spotlight card I will pick an area more toward the middle to spotlight. So, I don't know if it still counts as two challenges because I pulled the spotlight off of the final card, but I do have a picture of when it had both challenges completed!! (I know it doesn't really matter, I'm just being silly!!) I also used last Fridays Farm Fresh sketch again!

The second picture is a lot darker because it was later in the day when I decided to take off the colored part and I had lost my light!!
